closing sliders
I left my new-to-me 5th wheel at the end of the season with pool "noodles" on one of my slide outs to avoid banged heads when it is out. Should I drive 6 hours round trip to remove the "noodles" and re- close the sliders to avoid leaks? Also, my unit says the battery must be on to open the slide outs. Will they operate on just battery power or should I hook up my electric temporarily?2.9KViews0likes12CommentsBlind spots & washing your RV
I am new to RVing. I have trouble in gas stations getting close enough to the pump. I have a 34' motorhome and am towing a Jeep. I have a rear view camera, which doesn't hep at all; and my side mirrors only show the sides of the RV behind the front wheels. How can I better judge my distance in front of the wheels between my RV and barriers. Last time I got gas, my awning strut got caught on a concrete post alongside the pump. I couldn't go forward, and couldn't back up - my worst nightmare. I had no choice but to disconnect the Jeep. However, it was at an angle to the RV, and it took two men, myself rocking the Jeep forward and backward an inch at a time, and a crowbar to get the hitch removed from the ball. I thought I was going to be stuck there! Is there any after-market side camera system I could purchase; or is there another way to resolve this issue. I need help fast before my next trip! Also, is there a place I can take my motorhome to be washed - where do commercial/recreational vehicles go for a quick wash when traveling? Many campgrounds do not allow for washing your RV. Do truckstops along major highways provide this service?4.1KViews0likes11Comments
